Jaded, Disjointed & Entangled


If he takes his lessons raw
Drinks his medicine unsweetened
From wretched window watches
The wonders of the world

Then the world contrary turns
Its face toward the wall
Baring thus its back-lashed bloody
By the inaction of the watchers


Charity creates a multitude of sins.
~ Oscar Wilde
